Plasma cells produce antibodies to fight off pathogens like bacteria... Mine are party animals with OCD. Reproducing and spewing the same useless antibody with a bit to much glee. The docs call it Myeloma.

I have managed to forestall treatment until early September. I figure a few days of infusions each week should be a nice way to bring in the burgeoning fall. What is left unsaid here is the surprising tenacity of my plasma cells. Those little bastards got right back to reproduction and have steadily crowded out half my marrow over the past 10 months. I am happy to report there are no new holes in my head though. The current ones provide ample excuse for the quality of this verbiage.

I'll bolster my defense team for that anti TRAIL-R1 docket NCT00315757 I mentioned a while back over the next month. The bolstering will come in the form of heightened creativity leading to effortless productivity while enduring lots of lakeside captivity.

To the untrained optimistically biased eye the holes in my head are smaller. I like my perspective on life (most of the time). So Thursday I'll take a biased look at some MRI reconstructions. On Monday we'll let the "experts" air their biases. They need a lot more time to come to a more sophisticated sounding interpretation. Surveying can be complicated.In the mean time I will continue to jump away on the water trampoline and try not to get sun burned.
